WHAT IS FREEDIVING?

Freediving, also called breath-hold diving or Apnea, is diving on a single breath of air without the use of artificial breathing equipment. It is the most natural way to explore the underwater world. Without any breathing apparatus, you are no longer just an observer, you are part of the Ocean. When freediving you are closer to marine life.

Freediving is connected to many other activities such as snorkeling, spearfishing, synchronized swimming and other water sports, as well as yoga and meditation. It is a journey to discover not only the Ocean but also your inner self.

Anyone can enjoy freediving regardless of age or fitness level, given the right knowledge and practiced with the correct safety procedures.

Learn to train your body and mind to dive with confidence and comfort. Dive to depths you never imagined possible. Freedive and interact with nature as if you belong to the ocean.

Freediving will change your life forever.

“I was able to experience free diving in Turks & Caicos and was blown away by the experience. The off shore dive is amazing with the “drop” so close and amazing.”

“I booked the basic PADI Freediver course with Sammy and it was officially the best thing I’ve done in Turks and Caicos. I learned SO MUCH and my confidence in the water is so much better now. I’m a strong swimmer but always struggled with going deep and Sammy taught me to equalize my ears underwater and all the different freediving disciplines.”

Samantha Kildegaard – Freediving Instructor

 

I grew up in Argentina surrounded by mountains and rivers. Every summer my family and I would drive to the Atlantic Coast in search of the ocean. Following a family tradition, diving and open water swimming quickly became natural to me. After graduating as a Certified Translator and taking advantage of a second language, I took off to an adventure of traveling the world teaching diving with a strong commitment to promote ocean conservation. Having experienced amazing encounters with big mammals like sharks, dolphins, manta rays and whales, I trained as a free dive instructor to keep sharing this love. I am passionately driven to use my skills and experience to introduce as many people as possible to what lies beneath the surface. My goal: inspire people to care and protect our world’ s oceans through Freediving.
